for any attributes not specified in the ADD GROUP command.)
The group attributes are:
OWNER [ owner-id ]
MEMBER member-list
DESCRIPTION [ text ]
OWNER [owner-id]
specifies the owner of a group record. For owner-id, specify either of:
[\*.]group-name.member-name
[\*.]group-num , member-num
If you omit owner-id, your user ID becomes the current owner-id.
MEMBER member-list
specifies users who are granted membership in this group. member-list can
be either of:
net-user-spec
( net-user-spec [ , net-user-spec ...] )
net-user-spec can be either of:
alias
group-name.member-name
The group number,member number form of a user ID is not allowed in a
MEMBER list.
Note. If you want to define a group that can be subsequently used as an administrative
group, the group name and group number must meet the syntactical requirements for
administrative groups:
•
The group name must be from one to eight alphabetic or numeric characters, the first
of which must be alphabetic. Because the ADD GROUP command recognizes the
case of alphabetic characters, the alphabetic characters in an administrative group
name must be entered in uppercase.
•
The group number for an administrative group must be from 0 through 255.
